Abbreviation: PA, physical activity.

^aLow intensity physical activity = metabolic equivalent of task (MET) score of <3.0, for example, leisurely walk. Moderate intensity physical activity = MET score of 3.0-6.0, for example, brisk walk. High intensity physical activity = MET score of >6.0, for example, running/jogging.

^bP ≤ 0.05.

^cPaired t-test.

^dWilcoxon signed rank test.
